David, The results from using version 3.3.1 is different from version 3.3.2.
In version 3.3.1, adding "SOL OL 0" and executing "genbox -cs tip5p.gro -box 1 1 1" created a box with 37 SOL molecules but the density is too high at 3072.87 g/L. In version 3.3.2, adding "SOL OL 0" did not work. However, I added "SOL LP 0" to the end of vdwradii.dat and the resulting water box contained 37 SOL molecules. The density is incorrect at 2582.79 g/l. This box contains six more SOL molecules compared to a box created with TIP4P water.
